If you’re buying a house for the first time, navigating that process can feel overwhelming. You have to crunch the numbers to figure out what you can afford, find a home that fits your lifestyle and budget, choose a lender and negotiate the best terms the list goes on.
Fortunately, there are education courses to help first-time homebuyers wade through all this information, and become better prepared to make a purchase. Even if you consider yourself a savvy homebuyer already, these classes can be well worth your time since they’re often required to qualify for down-payment assistance, lower mortgage rates and other benefits.
